MG - The Matrix Re-wired

Gemmzie

:rotfl: @ mumsie!

I'm so jealous, I don't know when we'll be getting ours done It's so frustrating because the flat is so messy because there's no storage

Start with cardboard boxes if you have to Gemmzie. If you can get wine boxes the same size you can build one of those modular storage systems made out of squares... Bookshelves can be planks and bricks or breeze blocks. And try freegle too. Even if what you have initially is old and battered and ugly (make sure it's clean before you bring it in and use it!) at least it gives you an idea of what ou need long term. And remember what MG has managed to do with her skip diving and charity shop bargains!

That's what we have now greenbe and it's driving me nuts because we can't remember what's in what box and it looks like we've just moved in. I have one storage unit at my mums but I have to find the time to empty it - maybe I'll just dump it all in a bag and deal with it later!

Morning ladies - there is s report due out later today on what makes children happy .............. from all the interviews I conclude ............................. that most of us need to lighten up on ourselves as we are doing a pretty good job.

Respect, security and "enough" of things like food and clothes obviously and nicer things like toys. It would seem that more is just more .............................. so even though my kids are in fuel povery (actually I don't know anyone who isn't) they are happy.

Go for it. And try freegle and charity shops for other stuff. People are clearing out for the new year so you could be lucky!
